Hi, I am sending you the ASCII pic with this mail - which has some idea about configuration. Bridge Machine (br0) IP : 192.168.11.201 (Gateway machine / need to be used as Transparent proxy) +---------------------------------------------+ | | | | | | | | | | | | +---------------------------------------------+ | | eth0 eth1 | | | | | | FTP Content Server (192.168.11.60) | +------------------------> | | | | TO INTRANET / INTERNET +--------------------------------> People tries to access the FTP Content Server from Intranet and Internet Side. The Bridge machine is running on Bridge Mode and Transpwerent Proxy. For passing packets to T-PROXY, I have setup IPTABLES rules like - iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -d 0/0 -s 0/0 --dport 21 -J DNAT --to 192.168.11.201:2370 But it seems that packet is forwarded by Brdige before it reaches the iptables rule and thus T-PROXY tool is not able to process the packet. Also, I am running Redhat 7.3 with kernel 2.18-3 and iptables 1.2.5 version. I am using the latest bridge utils - and while I run brdige utils and setup iptables rule together - the kernel panics saying Aiee - Killing interrupt handler interrupt - no syncing What should I do to handle these two problems - please reply asap.
